The story
Swiss Dance Festival in Multiple cities
The Swiss Dance Festival, known locally as Das Tanzfest or Fete de la Danse, is a nationwide day of free public dance performances staged simultaneously in dozens of Swiss cities each May. Companies, schools and community groups perform short pieces in squares, courtyards and parks rather than theaters, with no single fixed venue. Each host city runs its own schedule, so visitors pick a city and follow its published program on the day.
Das Tanzfest, marketed in English as the Swiss Dance Festival, is not a single stage show but a coordinated day of free public dance performances staged simultaneously across dozens of Swiss towns and cities each May.
